ABSTRACT
The sixth edition of the APM Body of Knowledge states that: ‘a key requirement of a profession is that individual members should act ethically’.
It is useful to remember that the concerns of practitioners extend beyond the financial aspects and considerations of a project, or even beyond the issues raised as part of the typical constraints of cost, time, scope and quality. The APM Body of Knowledge reminds practitioners that trust and respect are essential elements of professional practice and must underpin the actions of practitioners. Trust is gained by working consistently and transparently in a moral, legal, responsible and socially appropriate manner. Respect results from how professional conduct is perceived by relevant stakeholders and participants.
